If you've pushed a Secondary installation from a Primary and the red hour glass beside it doesn't go away here's some things to check:

• Check that the SMS Services are present on the Secondary and started (apart from the SMS_SITE_BACKUP service).
   
• If the SMS Bootstrap service is present but stopped start it.
   
• Check the "SMSSETUP.LOG" in the root of the C:\ drive on the Secondary for any errors.
   
• Close and re-open the MMC as sometimes the MMC looses the connection between the SQL database and closing/ re-opening it re-establishes the connection and you may find the hour glass disappears.
